I have never been so happy to be so wrong in my entire life! It is indeed aluminum!! My bad. Now I'm again reasonably convinced I can hit my minimum target of 10*C cooler temps especially in the power supply temp sensor. Its a popularly held notion that each 10*C reduction in temps doubles a component's life and I was clinging to that since I've intentionally thrown all hopes of future warranty away. And now with anodizing back in the plan, along my plans for adding passive convection cooling is going to go a long way insuring I see nearer the 12-16*C 'idealistic' reduction I had originally hoped for. And I'm confident convection cooling lowering the power supply temps will also go a long way dropping the digital/analog board temps. A nice cooling Newtonian breeze blowing across things that costs nothing. This is truly win/win for me. YES!!
